Jeff Slotnick is a veteran of risk and resilience consulting. He is a prominent advocate for standards, process discipline and metrics. But he also has seen the results of the inefficiencies built into the siloed thinking of the industry. He has been frustrated by providing the gap analysis needed to mitigate risk, the strategies for sustaining a secure global supply chain, and the metrics plan for reporting this data over time, only to see this get lost in translation do to the lack of a communication platform for all the internal and external resources needed to deploy.
